Hi fellas, can you please the benefit(s) of a spool support bearing/bushing as applied to spinning reels? Does the size of the bearing/bushing matter? For example, my Stradic 4000FA had a support bushing which I replaced with a bearing. The bearing/bushing is roughly the diameter of a dime. I looked...

Hey fellas, how long is the handle on the 300D and 400D measured center to center of the paddles?

90mm or +100mm?

Havent gotten a chance to hold one and measure.

Thx

Thanks Randingo for the informative reply. I should have clarified on techniques used, mainly side drifting and float on spinning gear. I would prefer a line less knot sensitive as I prefer a simple 5 turn uni, but equally capable with palomar, SDJ, Miller, et al. If left to decide on two, Tatsu and...

Hey fellas, been expanding and exploring new territory the last couple seasons chasing after steelhead in PNW, EC and local waters. Been using Blue Label Seaguar as leader material but getting a little pricey in 25 and 50yd spools. Was wondering if the upper end floro lines would work well as anothe...

Hey fellas, been looking at adding either a Smoke or Supreme XT to the arsenal primarily for 2 to 6lb line mono tossing spinners and small artificials less than 1/4 oz. Reading abroad, I had read the Smoke had line laying issues? True or false? Both cost about the same, capacity roughly similar. Smo...

Hey fellas, what's the benefit of adding an extra bearing to the line roller?

Thanks!

Hey fellas, which do you think has better freespool and drag out of the box? Also which do you think has a more durable levelwind system? How about in hand ergonomics/fit? Does the gear box inhibit palming? Been eyeing either as a low profile big bait hucker for musky and drifing for salmon/steelhea...

Hey folks, just a quickie question that I haven't been able to google-fu here. But are the bodies/rotor on JDM Daiwa spinning reels the same size as their USDM counter parts? Meaning JDM 2000 = USDM 2000? I know the capacities are different, just trying to gauge the physical size of the reel. Thanks!
